I have been To GOA a month ago. I stayed near Baga Beach.
There are lots of restaurants and hotels nearby, they are affordable and of good comfort also.
This Beach is Moderately Crowded compared with all other nearby beaches like anjuna and calangute beach.
And the people over here are decent.
One more Best thing you could do is relax in a beachside sunbeds And enjoy seafoods.
If you reach the Northside end of Baga Beach, the Ocean Meets the Baga River. Where tides are soft, are best place for children to play.
Taking Sunbath over there is quite good, as ive experienced.
If you planing to leave to goa, never miss Baga Beach.
